CNC Router Built to machine moulds for composite frames and components - 2011
This router was designed and built to machine epoxy tooling board in a large enough format to produce a composite bicycle frame mould. Stepper motors with recirculating ballscrews and limit switches on all three axes. All electronic stepper drivers, spindle relay and power supply are integrated into the frame with active forced-air cooling. It uses a 1kW Kress spindle motor with up to 10mm cutter shank capacity using collets.
